ROKU definitely needs to add a "recently watched" feature. I started watching a really good movie (British) but had to put it on pause for about an hour. When I went back to watch it, Roku had reset itself. I can't remember the name of the movie, it's not listed in the "Continue Watching" section for some reason, and can't find it when searching through Roku. Very frustrating!
PS. Movie was about a mom who discovers that her daughter has joined a free love (hippy) commune instead of going to law school. Any help???- AvsGunnarCommunity Streaming Expert
If you can remember some more details or even an actor, can try this site. http://www.whatismymovie.com/

Hi same always happens to me ... I watched something similar it was called The Perfect Mother... Idk if that helps. Only other thing is if you searched it it would be under the search area you type in just type search and it saves your last 10 searches. Otherwise it could still be possibly in your recent watches. Hope that helps.

If you didn't watch it completely though (exited during the closing credits or the like), there may be a chance that it is still under the "Continue Watching" section. Located under the "Featured" section. Other that that, no Recently Watched/History section to the Roku Channel that I am aware of.
Other avenue is if you Searched for the movie, Roku does save your "Recent Search Selections". From the Home Screen, just select "Search" and then to the right you should see the last 10 searches.
Additionally, if you remember the actor(s), you can type that in the Search bar and see if any of the titles ring a bell.
Most of the Channels do have a "Recently Watched" sections so maybe something Roku could consider implementing.
Maybe you will get lucky with one of the above suggestions. Alternatively, post description here with actor(s) and maybe someone knows title or do a web search with same info.

Why doesn't ROKU have a list of movies we recently watched. Often times, you close a movie I selected after a long pause when I intended to continue later or I fall asleep near the end and miss it all!! Makes me mad when either happens. I don't like that there is no way to view a list of recently watched movies because without knowing the title or actors, there is no way to search for the movie and it's a wipe out for me. Not happy!!

Where are "continue watching" and "featured"?
- pugo46Channel Surfer
What a joke, it's almost enough to "Uncut the Cord." At least with a TV you have rhe "Previous Channel" or "Return" button.
It would take a programmer about 5 seconds to give us customer the feature we want.

Hi pugo46,
Thanks for your post.
We have a feature called the Continue Watching row that can be found within What to Watch, which makes it quick and easy to resume watching movies and TV shows they were previously streaming. The Continue Watching row will enable users to pick up where they left off with partners like Netflix, HBO Max, Paramount+, and The Roku Channel, with more to come. Is this the feature that you are looking for?
If not, you may also stop by the 'Suggest a feature' section of the Community to share any other thoughts.
Thanks for your interest and we hope to expand with more features to provide our customers with the best streaming experience.
Regards,
Nimfa
